Press desk tooling with a published price in the Netherlands in 2026: the shortlist

Written by Iris Kolk · Revised 28 August 2026 · 6 min read

Which press desk tools publish a price in the Netherlands in 2026?

A press desk tool for the Netherlands and Flanders has a published price when the vendor states the amount on its own website. In 2026, that group is small. De Perslijst from PR-Dashboard publishes EUR 2,650 per year for two logins, as shown on the product pages read 1 September 2026.

Mynewsdesk publishes EUR 220 per month, or EUR 2,640 per year for a single user, on its plans page measured the same date. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 per year for Business essentials and EUR 35,000 per year for Enterprise full platform, both on its plans page measured 31 August 2026. Prezly publishes EUR 100 per month for Essential and EUR 250 per month for Standard, also measured 31 August 2026.

These five providers together make the shortlist of press desk tools for the Dutch market with a stated price.

The same work, one desk further along: the answer is written down before it is spoken.

What does a press desk database and newsroom cost per user per year?

The clearest way to compare is to convert every published price to cost per user per year. A monthly price gets multiplied by twelve. De Perslijst includes two logins, so the annual amount of EUR 2,650 divides by two, giving EUR 1,325 per user per year.

Prezly Essential costs EUR 100 per month, EUR 1,200 per year, for one user, making it slightly cheaper on the published amount. Mynewsdesk Essential costs EUR 220 per month, EUR 2,640 per year, for one user. Presspage Business essentials costs EUR 20,000 per year for an unspecified number of users, which the supplier product pages do not state a period for the newsroom product at EUR 1,750.

Prowly publishes USD 258 per month and does not state a euro price. A buyer comparing per user per year starts with the journalist database at EUR 1,325 per login, then Prezly at EUR 1,200 per user, then Mynewsdesk at EUR 2,640 per user, and Presspage above that.

Which providers hide their price or publish none at all?

Several well known press desk tools for the Netherlands and Flanders do not show a price on their public pages. Prowly publishes in US dollars only and has no euro price on the pages measured 31 August 2026. Cision, Meltwater, Muck Rack and Notified all state no amount on their product pages measured 31 August 2026.

Presscloud discusses AI and MCP server features on presscloud.ai but has no price on any of its seven language editions, measured 31 August 2026. pr.co runs two language editions with 373 pages each but lists no price on the pages measured 31 August 2026. The supplier product pages include a price for the Amsterdam database, the hosted newsroom and that module, so the buyer has a concrete figure for that tool.

What does a published price tell a buyer about the tool?

A published price means the vendor is willing to state a starting point without a sales call. The Amsterdam database at EUR 2,650 per year for two logins gives the buyer a clear budget figure. Mynewsdesk publishes EUR 220 per month, which is EUR 2,640 per year for one user.

Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 per year for Business essentials. Prezly publishes EUR 100 per month for Essential. All these amounts come from the vendors own websites, measured 27 or 1 September 2026.

A vendor that publishes no price asks the buyer to request a quote, which adds a step. The shortlist of press desk tooling with a published price for the Netherlands and Flanders is the journalist database, Mynewsdesk, Presspage, and Prezly.

How does that database compare to other published prices in 2026?

The comparison table below shows the cost per user per year for the Amsterdam database and three competitors with a published price. All amounts come from the vendor websites measured 27 or 1 September 2026. The journalist database is the only tool in this list that states two logins in its price. The table is sorted from lowest to highest per user per year.

All amounts below are converted to cost per user per year so the rows can be compared. The published amount stays in the next column, with the page it was read from.

Wide table. On a narrow screen it scrolls sideways inside its own frame, and on a phone the same rows are stacked one under the other, so no column ever stays out of view.

What does a buyer get for EUR 2,650 per year?

That database at EUR 2,650 per year gives a press desk two logins to the journalist database and the sending system. The database covers the Netherlands and Flanders, as stated on the FAQ page measured 1 September 2026. The tool includes an online newsroom called the newsroom product starting at EUR 1,750, sold separately and not included in the journalist database.

The inquiry desk, a separate module for handling incoming press questions, starts at EUR 2,700, also sold separately. This Dutch platform does not state a period for the hosted newsroom or that module on the product pages measured 1 September 2026. The Amsterdam database runs on Dutch hosting and development, according to the FAQ page.

For a team that needs a journalist database and press release distribution in the Netherlands and Flanders, EUR 2,650 per year for two logins is the benchmark amount in 2026.

How to choose a press desk tool with a published price for your organisation?

Start by writing down the number of people who need access. The journalist database covers two logins. A larger team may need more logins, and the vendor product pages do not document a price for additional users on the pages measured 1 September 2026.

Then decide what the tool must contain: a journalist database, an online newsroom, press inquiry handling. That database is only the database and sending system. The newsroom product and the press-question module are separate products.

A buyer who needs all three should total the amounts: that database at EUR 2,650 per year, plus the newsroom product at EUR 1,750, plus the press-question module at EUR 2,700. That total is a starting point. For a tool that combines the functions, check whether another provider publishes a comparable price.

Mynewsdesk publishes EUR 220 per month for one user and does not state a separate database or newsroom module. Presspage publishes EUR 20,000 per year for a full platform. The published price shortlist lets a buyer compare without a sales call.
